Living a digital life with empty pockets

Discount shopping at Glam Affair (again!)

I hopped back to the Glam Affair/Beauty Avatar Couture Discount Room again today (this post will tell you exactly how to find it) and there were lots of new items out (and quite a bit of lag in the sim, so it’s probably a good idea to wait a day or so before you head over there; Sim FPS was down to just one, which equals pixel molasses).

Everything from the room that I’m showing here costs just L$10 per item.

First up, are the gorgeous Inverness leather pants. You get system pants that can be worn with and without the prim cuffs. Mar picked up the Philadelphia top to wear with it (it also has long gloves, but those didn’t work so well with Mar’s prim nails, so she’s not wearing those here), and also the Alva hair brown fatpack.

Hop behind the cut for a couple more outfits.

The Janess corset style tops are gorgeous and come in a range of colours. Mar also picked up the A&A Amberlei Collier Pure collar/necklace. This is modifiable, so she tinted it darker, removed the fullbright, and added a low shine (and yes, it wasn’t until I’d logged off that I realised you can’t see it very well against the background in the left-hand pic. Sorry about that!).

Finally, some different colours: the Inverness pants in black, the Janess top in black, the A&A Amberlei Collier Pure Black, and the blonde fatpack of Alva hair:

About SL for Nowt

So what is SL for Nowt all about? (Hey, that rhymed…)

Initially, I wanted to see if it was possible to create an entirely new avatar in the Second Life world, without putting in any money of my own. I planned to do this by picking money from money trees only. No camping (sitting on chairs/mopping floors/doing other activities that make an area look busy, in return for small amounts of cash), and definitely no begging! I set myself the goal of a minimum 50L$ per day from the money trees, and met this target on most days. I even exceeded it a lot on a few days. Along the way, I spotted (and screencaptured) many odd things, met some interesting people, got annoyed at the rudeness of ’some people’ and generally had a fun time.

The blog has now taken a different path, since my original goals have now been met. Now, SL for Nowt is all about finding freebies and cheapies, living a virtual existence in the Second Life world on the cheap, and helping out newbies as much as possible.

SL for Nowt has moved away from WordPress hosting, as I was unhappy with WordPress inserting ads into my content that I had no control over. It’s now self-hosted, so please hop over and pay a visit to the new blog!
